Mild
How jokerfied would Osama be seeing the US own itself harder than he could ever even dream of doing? :joker-laden:
So that's why they had to dump his body in the ocean, so that his corpse wouldnt infect anyone 😯 it all makes sense now
wild that americans are so accepting of their government killing a million of them
That what individualism do to you. They willing to sacrifice certain of populations as long as they get their treat and entertainment
Not only that but we have these rabid anti-mask anti-lockdown people practically begging for more to die.
My university is requiring in person classes. Masks are just “suggested” even though we’re in the medical sciences building. The plan for this semester is “just stop paying attention to it. We’ve had more covid cases than any university on earth as far as I know.
There’s no social distancing. I get crowded around when I wait in line anywhere.
If it makes you feel better its very similar over here in socialist Denmark too. People wear masks in shops and stuff, but not when they work out, or sit at bars. And suddenly its all alright cause Omikron is "more mild" and some bullshit about natural immunity. I feel like Im losing my mind for taking precautions.
Fucking psychopaths.
Deaths are up 40% from pre-pandemic levels, for working age people, according to life insurance companies.
It's hitting kids harder, too. Which is what the south African data showed. But since the propaganda was "kids can't get covid, back to school!" Since the start barely any under 11 kids are vaxxed.
Evil fucking country.
The coronavirus only kills 1% of people who get it! Its really not that big of a deal!
Btw, everyone is going to get it and we just have to accept that
Somehow a position held by the same people
To be clear, even if it was 1% (it’s higher last I checked), that would be 3.6 million deaths in the United States alone. I know you know that but I feel like everyone forgets that when they say “oNLy oNe pERceNt oF pEoPle DiE”
That's exactly the point I'm making. It's 1.6% in the US right now, and thats with vaccines available.
Oh yeah I know you know, not trying to imply anything else, I just like to point out those numbers because I feel like sometimes we forget what those percentages mean. Just trying to add to your point.
I've been trying to tell my relatives the whole "mild omicron" thing the media is pushing is verifiably bullshit, but they just believe whatever NPR says and go out to restaurants and movies and act like the pandemic's over. It's extremely fucked.
I did not realise until fucking today that the “mild” qualifier is relative to Delta, not the initial Covid variant that there was shutdowns for. Omicron has a 51% increased risk of hospitalisation over the initial wild variant.
The “mild” thing is clearly an op to allow capital to kick the can down the road while Gen Z and Alpha Generation are going to be carrying the physical scars of this for the rest of their lives.
Just skimmed the abstract of the last article you linked. Looks like they think covid might be getting into cells in the pancreas and causing damage there which might lead to diabetes. It's so far just observational data, but pretty bad if true.
it's worse than that - covid seems to get into everything. it's apparently able to cross the blood-brain barrier. it also causes a bunch of autoimmune issues. and severity of symptoms (or lack thereof) during the acute infection don't indicate the severity of symptoms in the weeks and months that follow. mild or asymptomatic covid can still be debilitating in the long run because of the autoimmune damage the disease can trigger.
Yeah, the media messaging everywhere, not just over there in America is all about comparison to Delta and getting vaccinated. As if we ddint do a lockdown back in 2020. And vaccination is absolutely necessary, but framing it as if as soon as you are vaxed you are good to go is kinda bad.
You can't get back to normal without it being mild. We clearly need to get back to normal asap.
President Biden said Friday that Americans will have to learn to live with COVID-19 long-term but that things will “be better”
:stop-posting-amogus:
Most likely they saw how fast omicron spreads and said fuck it, let's do herd immunity.
And then when next year it starts again because there'll be a new variant they'll be like :surprised-pika:
positivity rate in the US is 26% and they had someone on NPR today saying that people should use less tests
Broke: america deserved 9/11
Woke: america deserves a 9/11 every day
